Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1
by Bisco Hatori
Ouran High School Host Club is a comedy of errors much like Shakespeare’s twelfth Night.
Haruhi is a young girl on scholarship at a prestigious High School. She is searching for a quiet
place to study when she stumbles upon “The Host Club”. The Host Club is a collection of 6
wealthy attractive boys who spend their time courting wealthy female classmates. Courtship is
a game that each club member tries to win. Because of her short hair and lack of stylish clothing
the leader of the Club Tamaki Suoh believes that Haruhi is a boy and that he’s seeking the
services of the Host Club. These services largely consist of flirting with potential “clients” and
hosting outrageous parties. Tamaki immediately offers Haruhi his choice of gentleman escorts.
Haruhi is shocked by this offer and accidently breaks an $80,000 vase. Haruhi becomes a servant
of the Host Club to pay off her debt. She also becomes a pet project for Tamaki who is
intensely interested in her working class background. Haruhi introduces the boys in the club to
the joys of instant coffee and ramen as she tries to inject a little reality into their myopic world.
Haruhi becomes a sought after gentleman escort which annoys Tamaki. Things change when
Tamaki finds Haruhi’s wallet. Once the Host Club learns that Haruhi is a girl, they quickly
conspire to keep the secret from other female clients. They force Haruhi to play different roles
in their various parties. The story is told in 3 different installments that follow the natural
course of a school year
